April 2013 Moms

I keep forgetting to take my vitamins.

I feel like a horrible mom every time I look at the bottle and realize I never took one yesterday.  ;(.

Re: I keep forgetting to take my vitamins.

  • ::guilty::

    Glad I'm not the only one. My problem was when I was suffering from m/s and nausea. My mouth would start watering when I started thinking about taking them! I felt like a selfish terrible mom because I was neglecting them for my own comfort a few days a week.

  • Yeah, I forget to take mine all the time. I was the same way with my last 2 pregnancies and they turned out perfect! My midwife said that the vitamins are really only the most important in the first 6 weeks. Obviously you should still attempt to take them throughout, but your baby will be fine if you forget sometimes!

  • I set a daily reminder on my phone. Even if I don't take it right when the alarm goes off I see it when I set my alarm before bed. I've also heard some people leave the prenatals and a bottle of water on their night stand so it's all right there.

  • Don't sweat it.  I leave mine on my nightstand and take one before bed every night. I find it a good reminder to have them right there.

  • I keep mine so that I have to reach past them to get to my toothpaste. It really helps me remember. 
  • Sometimes I forget, but most of the time I just can't swallow them. Stupid horse pills make me gag everytime. It's not as bad since I've been on diclectin, at least I don't throw up everytime I try to take one.

  • I take mine right after I brush my teeth at night. I keep them right beside my toothbrush so I don't forget.

    Don't worry about missing a few, as long as you're taking them fairly regularly, you're ok. 

  • I used to forget to take mine but now I put the bottle on the kitchen counter where I can see it, so every time I'm preparing my dinner, I see it and remember. Maybe put a note to yourself on the fridge?

  • Does anyone else find that taking them at night makes them throw up the next morning? I tried taking mine at night to see if they made me feel less crappy, but when I do, I throw up while brushing my teeth the next morning.

    Hey, pretty girl, it feels so right, 
    Just like it's meant to be
    All wrapped up in my arms so tight
    Hey, pretty girl, it feels so right
    Life's a long and winding ride
    Better have the right one by your side
    And happiness don't drag its feet
    Time moves faster than you think
  • Me too! I feel so guilty about it! I have been so nauseous and have been keeping down about 1 decent sized meal a day so I try to remember to take it then.

  • I have a slew of meds I'm taking so I keep my med organizer in the box of vitamins so I won't have a reason to forget.  I did forget one night to take my prometrium before I headed out to work and by the time I realized it was too late to ask DH to bring it to me.  I've been freaked out all week from it.

  • I have so many medications that I've been taking since I was really young, that it's just second nature to me. I think having a pill organizer box helps.

  • I feel bad for even saying it, but I intentionally stopped taking the ones I had originally bought. Perpetual nausea has led me to stop taking them since the taste makes me gag... so, I went out and bought the gummy ones today. Now those taste fine, so I think I'll be able to take them a little easier.

  • Getting gummies made it easier for me to remember. I love gummy anything so I look forward to taking them.
  • I have them in the middle of my kitchen counter hoping when I eat a decent amount of food that I'll see and take them.  Problem is not a ton of food and I don't want to take them.

    I started with the gummies and now they make me sick.  I just need to suck it up and remember to take them....but I just keep forgetting. LOL
